Hello world does not compile

This is hilarious. But the compiler itself is working, it's just that the path to the stdlib isn't being passed properly

The negativity around the lack of perfection for something that was literal fiction fiction just some years ago is amazing.

It is wild that this is getting flagged!

Ah, two megapixel-PNG screenshots of console text (one hidpi too!), and of some IDE showing also text (plus a lot of empty space)... Great great job, everyone.

They had GCC to use as an oracle/source of truth. Humans intervened multiple times. Clearly writing C compilers is a huge part of its training data—the literal definition of training on test data.

Wake me up when a model trained only on data through the year 1950 can write a C compiler.

It really can replace human engineers. Mistakes and all. I've definitely written an "example" that I didn't actually test only to find out it doesn't work

I wonder if it feels the same embarrassment and shame I do too

Would appreciate unflagging this.

Why is this flagged?

The anti-AI crowd proves that they do need replacing as programmers since it was user error. Opus 4.6/ChatGPT 5.3 xhigh is superior to the vast majority of programmers. Talk about grasping for straws.

Seems like a nothingburger? Mostly a spammy GitHub thread of people not reading the rest of the responses.
